To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, HEINRICH OTTO BEIGE, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing in Halle-on-the-Saale, Ger- Lamp or Like, Holders,

many, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Incandescent Electric of which the follow ing 1s a specification. J

The present invention relates to a holder or socket for incandescent electric lamps or the like, said holder or socket consisting chiefly of insulating material-and difiering' from known sockets of this kind in the very simple construction of the contacts and of the switch.

In the accompanying drawingsk-Figure 1 is a View partly in section of the -outer portion of an incandescent electric lamp holder or socket: according to one method of carrying this invention into-effect. Fig.2.

is a viewin section of the portion of the,

socket which carries=thecontacts and terminals for the conductors. Fig.- 3-is a plan oflthe same. Fig. 4 is a detail. .Fig. 5 illustrates a modification which may be made in the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 1.; Fig." 5* is a View taken at right angles to Fig. 5. Fig.'6.'i s a View partly in section of the holder shown in Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 7 is a view in section of'an' incandescentfelectric lamp holder according to another meth- 0d of carrying this invention into effect,

and Fig. 8 is a horizontal sectionfof the same.

" Referringto Figs. 1 to 4, the body a of ceramic material such as porcelain is provide'd with two passages 1 (Figs. 2 and 3) tact member is carries the cont-act pin d through which the current supply .con-

cluctors are inserted, these conductors being connected to the contacts 71, al (Fig. 2). The

contact 12. consists ofa simple metal sleeve" which is pressed on to the elevated contact seat g. In the center of the contactcap hi is arranged the contact screw z and by which the conductor is clamped. The contact segment k has at its ends downwardly depend;

ing lugs m (Fig. 4:) in the form of a fang bolt. The lugs m are'emloedde'd in recesses in thebody a and are secured-therein by The conmeans of fire-resisting cement.

which is provided with a recess.- Arranged beneath-this-reces's isthe hole and the screw 1 for the connection of, the. corresponding conductor Thepin d is coated with an in sulati-ngisubstame inorder to tentional. contacts being made. Upon Ithe wires being attached to L and It the shell 6 is placed over the socket a so that the pin (Z comes opposite the screw c (Fig. '3

To permit of the passage of-the current throughithe conductor to the pin d the screw 0 which is provided withan insulated head rent then passes to the metal tongue f which is secured beneath. the head of [the screw 0. The screw 0 may therefore be employed as e is screwed into the recess in d. .Thecura switch. The 'metal tongue f having t he form ofa narrow strip: constitutes in a known manner a part of the screw thread inlthe shell I). In the eventof the holder:

being used without a screw 0, the tongue f is simply secured to the pin (1 (Fig.

are as much remote from each other as possible and are separated by a partition p. Moreover in order to facilitate the assembling and mounting operations the contacts and-8 a constructionaI. is shown in which for the purpose of preventing-short circuiting'the contacts h and h d areslipped on to special posts-'ai-foi o f polygonal or cresoent form by meansiof a cap shaped attachment g. f m

It: is obvious that various other -modifi.- cations may be made in the manner of carry-ing this invention into efiect.

What I claim as my inventlon and desire to secure byLetters Patent is 1. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of a sleeve for, receiving the base. of the lamp, a plug removably insertible in saidsleeve and through which the supply conductors can be led a pillarf'on said plug, the end of which forms the central contact-and a lateral projectionon said plug forming a terminal and a connection to said sleeve.

2. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of'a sleeve for receiving'the base of the lamp, a plug removably insertible in one end of said sleeve and through which the supply conductors can be led, a pillar on said plug, a metal sleeve on the end of said pillar" forming the central contact and a lateral projection on said plug formingta terminal and a connectionto said sleeve.

3. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of a sleeve for receiving the base of the lamp, a plug removably insertible in one end of said sleeve and through which the supply conductors can beled, a pillar on said plug, a metal sleeve on the end of said pillar attached to it by a screw and forming the central contact and a lateral'projection on said plug forming a terminal and a connection to said sleeve.

4:. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of a sleeve for receiving the base of the lamp, a pluga'emovably insertible in one end of said sleeve and through which the supply conductors can be led, a pillar on said plug, a metal sleeve on the end of said pillar forming the central contact and a member having lugs for atktaching it to said plug, a pin projecting -".from said member forming a terminal and a 1 connection to said sleeve.

' 5. In an incandescent electric lamp or like contact, a member having lugs for attaching it to said plug, a pin projecting from said member forming a terminal, and a screw passing through said sleeve and-adapted to act as a switch by making contact between said pin and said sleeve.

6. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of a sleeve of in- 'sulating material for receiving the base of the lamp, a metal strip or tongue on the inner side of said sleeve forming a contact for making connection-t0 the lamp or the like, a plug removably insertible in said sleeve and through which the supply conductors can be led, a

sulating material for receiving the base of the lamp, a metal strip or tongue on the inner side of said sleeve forming'a contact for making connection to the lamp or-the like, a plug removably insertible in said sleeve and through which the supply conpillar on said plug the end of which forms the central contact, a member having lugs for attaching it to said plug, a pin projectingfrom said member and forming a terminal, a screw. passing through said sleeve and the strip or' tongue and adapted to make contact between said stripor tongue and said pin.

8. In an incandescent electric lamp or like holder the combination of a sleeve for receiving the base of the lamp, a plug removably insertible in one end of said sleeve and through which the supply conductors can be led,'a pillar on said plug the end of which forms the central contact, a lateral projection on said plug forming a terminaland connection to said sleeve and an insulating partition between said pillar and said projection.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as iny invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
